[0010] After adopting the above technical solution, the flow guide structure for a pit-type carburizing furnace provided by the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] The utility model adopts the design of the conical guide structure. When the air guide tube expands due to heat, the air duct area between the bottom muffle and the air guide tube will not be smaller than the air duct area in the middle and upper sections, so it will not affect the atmosphere in the furnace; at the same time, it can ensure that the airflow enters the workpiece from the furnace base evenly along the inclined guide direction, improve the air guide performance, and achieve the effect of uniform atmosphere in the furnace.
